Amy Tan recommended Love in the Time of Cholera in Books (curated)

 
Love in the Time of Cholera
Love in the Time of Cholera
Gabriel García Márquez | 2007 | Fiction & Poetry
7.7 (6 Ratings)
Book Favorite

"I’ve read this book several times. As a writer, I am in awe of Márquez’s genius. The first sentence reveals the gist of the entire novel, and yet everything in this love story is surprising. I would count this as the most romantic novel I’ve read. It is the family legend of undying love we all wish we had."

"I knew Ry Cooder's stuff, and I knew of Ali Farka Touré. I love 'world music', and I particularly love African and Moroccan-inspired music. It's my kind of go-to Sunday morning record. It calms me down. There's just something really magical about it. It was also the opening music for my first ever solo gig."

I love Tim's books, they always end up surprising you in the last 10% or so.

However, I didn't like this as much as the first. It might have been because it ran along the same lines as the first with the surprise or because I found myself struggling for the first 30-40% with the story line. I didn't find it as engaging as previous books I've read by the author. It was still a great story though.

This was my first purchase from the band and I was blown away by it. I just love every track and it's become a go to album for me. (1 more)
All of it, for sure.
What an album!

I really wanted to love this book. the first 3/4 kept my attention but not enough to give it more stars. the last 1/4 of the book dragged on forever.
I didnt like the ending.

Love, loss, betrayal and heartbreak
The betrayal had me wanting to RIP the book apart. I was so engrossed that I read it in a day. A brilliant continuation from the first book
